I’m not everything I want to be, but I’m more than I was, and I’m still learning.

holy shit i'll never get sick of this art style, his fingers remind me of the other mothers needle hand though lol

❝ You know, as elevator shafts go, this is pretty nice! ❞

sentence starters * @bctglrl

 babs' voice travels up the elevator shaft, bouncing against the rooftop to echo back down through the space, emphasizing just how deep this thing goes. dick doesn't look down, but he's been counting the floors as they go and he knows they're already twelve floors high, with almost as many more to go. what was it with corrupt ceo's and their high-rises? it probably would've been better to enter through the building from the outside - but, nooo - someone just had to play pretend leader at the last second and now they're here.

his hands grip the elevator cables one on top of the other, boots stepping up alongside the walls as they pull themselves higher; tedious after the first five floors, and he'd glance up at babs to roll his eyes if he weren't extremely conscious about the fact that he was right underneath her.

in fact, he tries to look anywhere but up.

for reasons.

"a pretty elevator shaft - just what every girl needs! maybe you should take a pic to pin it in your dream house pintrest board."

@1stbird​ : JOKER STARTER

“Wakey wakey, bird boy~” Echoes through the dark before a harsh slap is sent across Robin’s face. “Are you with me, bat-brat? I have to say, our dear dark knight just isn’t training you very well recently! I mean, REALLY! Only a while ago you’d have woken up from your daily dose of zz’s and been ready to catch the worm! It’s the same knock-out gas and everything!” Joker was knelt down to where the young hero was restrained, knife tapping against the green mask as Dick was coming to. “Kind of pathetic, really. Ah well, but better late than never I suppose!” Knowing the tricks of the duo, Joker stands before the now conscious bird can headbutt him. “Someone really aught to teach you better. And since Bats isn’t here guess your good ol pal the JOKER is gonna have to do!” 

 robin wakes, startled; disoriented by the stinging sensation spreading across his face, the sound of the joker’s voice, and the frantic realization that he can’t move. his body, however, writhes harshly against the restraints before his mind can catch up to what’s happening, eyes squinting in the dark in an attempt to better see what’s going on. 

blinking his surroundings into focus, he pulls his face away from the knife as best as he can with a frustrated grunt. where is he? what is he tied to? can he reach into his glove for something to cut himself free? 

“not if i teach you a lesson first.” he says, buying himself some time to think, to break himself out of this. preferably before batman comes crashing through the walls; he’d really like to avoid being lectured about the dangers of the joker... again. 

“y’know, we really need to work on your predictibility, joker. knock out gas? tying me up in some dark room? talk about cliche. at this point, you’re just a sad, one-act clown.”

He had asked him to stay in the car. Something he imagines was not the easiest request to make of a 12 year old, given the circumstances. The last time he’d faced the Joker, he’d slipped away and left him nearly out of commission for two days. And now, he’d asked him to stay out of that building no matter what happened. 

And he did. 

He can hear the sirens approaching. He’s got a few stab wounds but overall he was fine. No one else had to die tonight. No one else had to go home bloody except for him. And it’s with obvious relief that he finds the boy immediately rushing out of from the passenger’s side. 

 “ Hey. Hey! I’m - “ He lost his breath as Robin practically runs into his chest. Stealing oxygen with the force of his body and his arms flung around him. He hoped the red tunic would cover for whatever blood he might get on the boy as he stumbled onto his back with the weight of him on top of him. A small smile as his eyes closed from under the cowl. 

 Laughing gently as he nodded. Dick worrying for a moment if he had knocked him out. “ I’m fine, Robin. Just…catching my breath. Let’s go home. “

"that sounds corny."

“ Corny? " That interrupts his monologue, brow perking as he finally looks over to the kid who looks far too bored with the conversation already. “ There isn’t anything ‘corny’ about a bat flying into the window symbolizing what I knew my father was trying to tell- ” And he’s started again.

enygma​:

               ❛     Now, now, little birdie, it’s dangerous to fly all on your own. Where’s the Bat? He’s the one I’m interested in, not you. Anyone can outwit a child, I’m afraid, and there isn’t much glory in that.    ❜

@1stbird​​  ♡’d for a starter

“he’s busy.” dick takes pleasure in making that sound as unconvincing as possible. the batman is always busy of course, but it’s the implication in his tone that the riddler is on his low list of priorities that’s most important here. 

especially for a rogue with an ego for a safety net.

“as his partner, he sent me to deal with you. so let’s wrap this up!”

“Even Bruce Wayne’s bank account has been squeaking!”

"How much does he pay you?"

random sentences * @heroicbeetle​

"not much." or at least, in the eyes of a twelve year old living with gotham's biggest bilionaire. especially when enough of it gets deducted from his allowance every time he breaks another chandelier.

he's been considering asking for a raise, but he's still working out his negotiation skills; he's been biding his time studying, learning... both from ceo bruce wayne and batman.

and now from a justice leaguer.

"how much would you ask for if you were me?"
